>>>I highly reccomend TAPEDISK….this actually makes your DAT work like a Hard Disk. You'll like the speed too. If your WANG DDS DAT is a non-compression type of drive similiar to some of the TECMAR Drives with the WANG Hardware you'll see 10+MB per Min. on the Backup. You've also got to remember that Tapedisk also allows you to use the DAT as a Hard Disk. I'd be glad to mail you a brochure or some Demo Software.<<< I've got a HP C1533 DAT and was thinking about getting Tapedisk. I don't know if I have much use for it though, especially at $250, ouch. Is it really worth it? When I copy a file from the PAR to my HD it seems to go slow. Though Tapedisk might save the in between step when going from PAR->HD->DAT. I've used similar programs on the Amiga that treat your DAT as a hard drive, with the fast dir search of a DAT it isn't to bad. With 3DSR5 coming for NT later in the year I won't be using FAT file system anymore so Tapedisk may have limited life on my system.
